Such methods and systems may include controlling tensile-split conduits in a subterranean geothermal formation by providing an injection well, providing a production well, configuring the injection well for injection of a tensile-splitting fluid into a production zone, configuring the production well to produce a heated fluid from the production zone, applying pressure to the production well, creating a plurality of tensile-split conduits, raising or lowering the pressure in the production well, establishing fluid communication between the injection well and the production well, and producing the heated fluid to the surface.

Abstract: A cognitive platform is disclosed that is configured for either or both of assessing or enhancing the cognitive abilities of an individual based on implementing one or more navigation task(s) in an environment. A first task is rendered that requires the individual to rely on allocentric navigation capabilities to navigate in the environment based on a first set of views of portions of the environment rendered at the user interface. A second task is rendered that requires the individual to rely on egocentric navigation capabilities to navigate in the environment. An indication of a cognitive ability in the individual can be generated based on the difference in the individual's performance at the first task as compared to the second task.

Abstract: Example systems, methods, and apparatus, including cognitive platforms, are provided for computing performance metrics of an individual based at least in part on user interaction(s) with computerized tasks and/or interference and at least one physiological measure of the individual, where the performance metric provides an indication of the cognitive abilities of the individual. The apparatus can be coupled to at least one physiological component to perform the physiological measurement of the individual. The apparatus also can be configured to adapt the tasks and/or interferences to enhance the individual's cognitive abilities.

Abstract: A memory based system and method relating to the improvement of human memory and communication and/or organization of life experiences through a software Timeline interface and accompanying user related profile, along with features providing the ability to selectively share and communicate information with other users. The system and method include organizing, storing, and/or enhancing memories for a user, including providing a plurality of views or selections of memory related content, wherein the plurality of views or selections includes a Timeline based view and a selection to add new content. The Timeline and memory-based components offer an automated process for prompting and/or correcting date related information that assists in the automatic or user positioning of added content relative to existing content based on date. The system and method thereby provide multiple features to improve user memory and cognitive order of events, as well as general organization of a Timeline.

Abstract: A cable tray support system for supporting cables above an array of server racks in a data center is provided, along with a method of assembly. The system includes a free-standing cable tray support structure having vertical support posts disposed between the server racks in the array linked together by horizontal support members. Coupling assemblies couple the top ends of each vertical support posts with opposing ends of two horizontal support members arranged. The horizontal support members are sized to space the plurality of vertical support posts between the server racks of the array when the vertical support posts are coupled thereto. Tray supports mounted on along the horizontal support members support an upper and lower cable tray. Floor mounts anchor the bottom ends of the vertical support posts to the floor.

Abstract: A bracket assembly and installation method are provided that connects and reinforces upper and lower stud wall frames in a stacked relationship. The bracket assembly includes upper and lower brackets connectible across the width inside of a pair of parallel, aligned studs of the upper and lower stud wall frames, respectively, and a pair of post members that interconnect the upper and lower brackets. In the installation method, aligned openings are provided in the top plate of the lower stud wall frame and the bottom plate of the upper stud wall frame. The post members are inserted through the aligned openings and are connected between the first and second brackets to resist bending at the interface between the stacked upper and lower stud walls. Each bracket is length-adjustable to accommodate variations in the width between the pair of parallel studs.
